Lempriere's Dictionary

[Paul Taylor]

Yep- just to be a stickler, I was wondering about how 'qui' gained
causal status; it should just be a relative clause: 'I am a barbarian
here, who is not understood by anyone.'  I think the actual line has
'quia' (because) instead of qui (who + range of meanings depending on
usage).
